Since commit 805b2e1d427a ("kbuild: include Makefile.compiler only when compiler is needed"), package builds for the loongson2f platform fail. $ make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-linux- lemote2f_defconfig bindeb-pkg [ snip ] sh ./scripts/package/builddeb arch/mips/loongson2ef//Platform:36: *** only binutils >= 2.20.2 have needed option -mfix-loongson2f-nop.

Stop. In general, adding $(error ...) in the parse stage is troublesome, and it is pointless to check toolchains even if we are not building anything. Do not include Kbuild.platform in such cases.
